    Hi girls some of these maybe answered by the nurse when I get my strapping off this coming Monday, but there on my mind so figured I would ask,, here goes…

    When do you start massaging breasts?
    When can you sleep on your side? Finding bit difficult to get more than a couple of hours bolt upright..
    How long did you take pain relief for without breaks? I don’t want to miss out on meds to then be hit with pain
    If anyone can respond if be grateful x

    Hey.. with regards to the meds i just took mine religiously until i forgot really lol. All of a sudden i was like, oh no ive missed my tablets but then thought oh well i obv dont need them. Would take some in the evening though to help during the night and usually about 4am too. I am nearly 4 weeks PO and havent started massaging them :s i didnt know we had to ?? And as for sleeping on your side you will no doubt just wake up one day and be on your side.. this is what happened to me. Although do be careful, i got cocky and thought i was fine, jumped up and it honestly felt like my incision ripped open (my own fault) but just take it easy. When you start laying on your side again i find the v pillow really helps me not to put too much pressure on my boobs and stops me from rolling on to me front. xxx

    Pain relief would be until you feel you no longer need them, varies between person to parson was a week for me the 1st time and 2 days the 2nd.
    In terms of massage DON’T. lol really do not do it! It’s an out dated thing used by the US market as they still use Smooth implants, all implants used in the UK have a Textured shell, massage can cause the shell surface to break down to which causes a whole host of issues so thats a big no no!
    Side sleeping is also when ever you feel comfy to do so, most ask you to wait a full week then whenever you feel like it. Placing a pair of roller up socks between them when side sleeping can help with pressure if they feel heavy. Hope that helps any questions feel free to message me.x
